Malaria No More

‘Tis the season of giving, and today I have another charity project that could use your support. In previous weeks I’ve written about the Playing For Change project and Funk Aid for Africa. Today I want to share news about a benefit album that just came out today titled Indie Rocks! A Benefit Album For Malaria No More. It’s been put together by RED Distribution, and its aim is to raise money for the organization Malaria No More, whose mission, in their own words, is as follows:

Malaria No More is determined to end malaria deaths in Africa by 2015. Malaria kills a child in Africa every 30 seconds, but it doesn't have to be this way-m alaria is a treatable and preventable disease. Luckily, the world is mobilizing to end the disease. In the past few years, new tools and increased awareness have pumped new energy into the fight against malaria. Individuals all over the world are helping parents keep their children safe from the deadly bite of a malarial mosquito with a simple, $10 mosquito net. Millions of individuals across the globe are helping to make malaria no more once and for all.

The album is comprised of fourteen tracks from a wide variety of artists, some from previously released albums, some recorded especially for this charity. Here’s the listing for you to check out:

1.) Peter Bjorn & John - Summer Breeze (Exclusive)
2.) Juliette Lewis - Fantasy Bar , from Terra Incognita
3.) Jeff The Brotherhood - Bone Jam , from Heavy Days
4.) The Grates - Two Kinds Of Right from Teeth Lost, Hearts Won
